I am wondering when the police will stop me in Brum.... always drive erratically to avoid potholes since I have my estate on sport suspension setting (on vw oem 15mm lowered sports suspension)... otherwise it would shatter my spine (and probably wheels) :(

Around here the pot holes are imense! And the curbs, well lets not talk about them. Also they could be someone elses wheels :whistle:

Pot holes don't get me started. I saw two heading into town today on the a34 as u approach the hill before the fire station in the bus lane they were mahoosive even the bus struggled to get over them

Buy the uni? Round were i got to go through there are loads everywere.

Yea just over the roundabout. There are pot holes everywhere you'd think all the bus lane fines would be used properly.

When I enquired at a VW Dealer, the price per Austin 18" rim without tyre fitted was over £614+ each I think.  The price with tyre as you can imagine was well over £700+ easily.  For 4 Rims the price drops to just around £2000.   I have typed the exact prices in another thread, cannot remember exact prices right now.

You should save at least 10% buying any VW part from your local TPS, maybe up to 35% if you've got a mate in the car trade with a trade account with them.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....
